In my opinion, it just takes time to get used to sitting in a hot tub. I will compare it to riding a bike. You just don't hop on a bike the first day and ride, unless you are Lance Armstrong. Give it a few tries, and your body will adapt at how to stay in the seat. I wouldn't base my decision of buying a tub on being buoyant.

Some people just plain float and I wouldn't assume it will work itself out. If you do float its not an indictment of that spa/brand, every person is built differently and every spa is different (seat angles, seat heights, footwell height...). If you float I suggest you just wet test another.

can't agree with this at all, little differences in size/volume can make a huge difference and that is why a wet test is almost necessary in my opinion....No matter what I do I float in every single seat in the Hot Spring Grandee model (500 gal/no lounge) but sit like a rock in every seat in the Vanguard (425 gal/no lounge)

That's got to be one of the MOST unique statements I've ever seen in this industry. The entire world typically says the exact opposite (this is one of the BIG reasons for wet testing!)

Completely agree, if someone floats in a particular spa I would advise they try another.
Chartreux:
You could also try adding a seat cushion, on the Sundance models I floated and then he had me try again with a seat cushion and I stayed in the seat...
But I do suggest you keep trying them out with the wet testing also try out all the jets...
